Default Engine Bay Mods Complete- What a Difference!!


Started with a little carbon fiber


Painted the engine bay supports with black carbon flash to show through the clear top instead of the clear top with a black stripe.






Added the red carbon fiber covers from Hulse Design


Added the engine bay covers from AMT
Painted the radiator cover black with chrome trim- WCC





engine bay carbon fiber from AG Motorsports




Clear cover with clear panel to check oil - James & White Sales - Facebook
Corvette cover plate from Falcon Design




Added a black screen from Hulse Design


Turned the name plate around and installed shims so you can read the name looking towards the back of the car.



Waiting for two parts from AMT to finish the deck lid!

Where did you get the Billet support bars with the Z06 670 HP etched in?

Nice engine bay, for a convertible. The biggest advantage of the coupe, the view of the engine.

Very nice as well, for a coupe. Coupes defiantly have more mod options at this time. The good thing about a convertible is that that I get to show my engine to only the ones I want to see it and I can put my top on while I am driving down the road without getting out of the car!!
